Chapter 2225: Chapter 2225: I’m the only one she can rely on
“How did this happen?”
“Are you serious? You’re not lying, are you?”
“We can get in, but we can’t get out. Who are we going to reason with?”
In the beginning, the people of the world were skeptical of the news.
After all, there were already 50 million players lying unconscious. Who would rashly go in again?
Huo Shaoheng and Lu Jin were both carefully evaluating the feasibility of this piece of news.
After the news of Gu Nianzhi being tricked spread, there was an endless stream of people who came to see her.
Most of them were blocked by Yin Shixiong.
Only a few people could actually see her.
The Committee of State Security (KGB)’s second-in-command in Russia, Vladimir, for example.
He had come with Peter and Lyna, who had returned from the Cayman Islands.
Huo Shaoheng had heard that he had come, so he had gone to see him with Lu Jin.
Vladimir stood in the living room of Huo Shaoheng’s official residence, constantly looking around.
Peter, on the other hand, was still in a deep sleep. His eyelids were drooping, but his expression was still a little different from before.
Huo Shaoheng walked in, and his gaze quietly moved away from Peter. He nodded at the new KGB Lyna before shaking Vladimir’s hand. The Committee of State Security (KGB) had been waiting for him for a long time.
Vladimir looked away and said seriously, “How’s Nianzhi doing? Why is she trapped in the game? Didn’t I send her a message?”
“It’s because of your message.”Huo Shaoheng led him upstairs and said calmly, “We might have alerted the enemy.”
“How could that be? !”Vladimir would never agree. “Our people have always been reliable!”
“Reliable?”Huo Shaoheng gave him a sharp look. “How dare you ask your people to tell me the details? How exactly did they operate in the Cayman Islands?”
Vladimir felt a little guilty for no reason.
Of course, Peter had reported every detail of the operation to him.
However, he had not told Gu Nianzhi the details at the time.
When he saw Gu Nianzhi lying lifelessly on the bed, Vladimir finally could not bear to tell Huo Shaoheng the details that could not be told to outsiders.
“… actually, it was very smooth and normal at the beginning. The change happened after they went down.”
At this point, Vladimir didn’t want to hide anything anymore. The most important thing now was to wake Gu Nianzhi up.
He called Peter over, “You tell him.”
Peter glanced at Vladimir, seeming to hesitate.
The Committee of State Security (KGB) was in violation of KGB rules, so he had to be careful.
Vladimir said, “It’s okay, you can tell me. I told you to tell me.”
Peter composed himself and began to recount what he had seen in the underground of the online gaming company’s headquarters.
Huo Shaoheng was slightly moved when he heard about the “Robot”soldiers who moved freely. He asked in surprise, “Are they really robots? Are you sure?”
Peter calmly took out a flash drive. “We recorded the operation at that time. This is a video. You can see for yourself.”
Vladimir nodded. “That’s true. We’ve all seen it. The other party’s AI level is indeed very high.”
Huo Shaoheng took the flash drive and said calmly, “Thank you.”
He was still a little disapproving at first.
After Vladimir left with Peter and Lina, Huo Shaoheng, Lu Jin, Lu Yuan, and song Jinning watched the action video Peter had given him.
When he saw the four robots pincer Peter with guns, Lu Jin’s face turned livid. He muttered,”… they really are high-intelligence AI? !”
He was an expert, and could tell at a glance that the four robots were not simple robots.
Judging from their individual actions and cooperation, the other party’s artificial intelligence had indeed reached a very high level.
It was indeed a matter of minutes for real artificial intelligence to be born at this level!
Huo Shaoheng was also a computer expert, and his unease had only increased after seeing the video of the operation.
Song Jinning was even more worried. “What should we do? If it’s really an artificial intelligence, it’ll be difficult to deal with.”
“If it’s a human, it still has a weakness.”
“But if the opponent is an AI, then it’s really unassailable.”
Lu Jin retorted unhappily, “Wrong! If it’s a real AI, then it’s not unassailable!”
“Because a real AI is an existence that’s infinitely close to a human!”He pointed at his brain. “Humans have weaknesses, and so do real ai!”
Lu Yuan patted song Jinning’s hand, telling her not to get angry as he said to Lu Jin, “This is really like a paradox.”
“If true artificial intelligence is an existence that is infinitely close to humans, so it also has weaknesses, then why did humans develop artificial intelligence?”
“Whether you admit it or not, artificial intelligence is the evolution of machinery. It may have weaknesses, but it won’t be as obvious as humans.”
“Moreover, it has many irreplaceable advantages compared to humans.”
“For example, it can work 24 hours without sleep. Can humans do it?”
“As long as it has energy, it will continue to operate efficiently. Can humans do it?”
Lu Jin was tongue-tied by the question and said resentfully, “You also said that it needs energy! Unplug its power source…”
“Unplug it and 50 million players will die with it. Is this what you want?”Lu Yuan raised his voice, his expression was very serious. “Lu Jin, I hope you can face this reality. Whether you admit it or not, someone’s computer skills are higher than yours.”
“It’s impossible for them to be higher than me. At most, they’re as high as me!”Lu Jin retorted softly, but in front of the angry Lu Yuan, he did not continue to gloat.
Moreover, the truth was right in front of him.
He hadn’t broken through the portal before, and now he couldn’t figure out what the other party was up to.
Huo Shaoheng listened on the side for a long time and said without batting an eyelid, “If that’s the case, I’d better go in and take a look.”
“No.”This time, Lu Yuan and Lu Jin rejected him together. “You can’t go. What if something happens to you? How are we going to explain this to others?”
However, no one could stop Huo Shaoheng from making his decision.
Five minutes later, he was in his study, putting on his VR gaming helmet.
Song Jinning looked at him worriedly from the side. “Shaoheng, you have to be careful…”
Lu Jin sat in front of the computer, playing the game interface, trying to give him the most possible guarantee.
Lu Yuan protected him. If he felt the slightest discomfort, he would immediately disconnect his helmet.
However, after putting on the game helmet, Huo Shaoheng was unable to log into the game.
“What’s going on? Could that AI be lying?”
“Didn’t they say the game was already open? There’s still a big prize…”
Lu Jin frowned and kept switching between the game interface and the forum.
It didn’t take long for him to realize what was going on.
“… from the current situation, the only people who can log into this game to save people are the immediate blood relatives of the 50 million players, such as parents and children.”He looked up at Huo Shaoheng, “No one else can go in.”
This meant that normal blood relatives couldn’t go in. Only the most direct and intimate blood relatives like parents or children could.
However, under such harsh selection conditions, there was still the possibility of being unconscious forever. Even if there was a huge prize, only the players’closest blood relatives were willing to risk their lives, in other words, there were very few children who were willing to enter.
This was because the majority of these 50 million players were young, and many of them did not have children yet.
A few of them were older and retired, and they had plenty of time to kill time in the game.
Lu Jin walked out from behind the desk and reached out to Huo Shaoheng. “Give me the helmet, I’ll go in and take a look.”
“No!”Huo Shaoheng, Lu Yuan, and song Jinning rejected him in unison.
“I’m the only one who can go in the current situation! And I’m very curious, I want to see how the other side developed such an artificial intelligence.”Lu Jin was very calm, “And since Nianzhi is still unconscious, I definitely won’t give up on any possibility.”
He didn’t care about the big prize, but being able to see the situation for himself was definitely the best strategy.
“My problem is that I’ve underestimated this game.”Lu Jin was still stubborn. “If I had played it with Nianzhi in the past, it wouldn’t be like this now.”
However, the consequences of Lu Jin going in were too serious.
Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan instinctively stopped him.
Song Jinning’s first reaction was to refuse, until Lu Jin asked her, “Ms. Song, if the person trapped inside was Shaoheng and you were the only direct relative of Shaoheng, would you go and save him?”
Song Jinning was speechless.
She took a deep breath and nodded. She said to Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng in a hoarse voice, “Let General Lu go in and take a look. If there really is someone who can save Nianzhi, then only general Lu can.”
Huo Shaoheng and Lu Yuan looked at each other and then looked away.
“I can’t make the decision on my own. I’ll report this to General Ji. If General Ji agrees, I have no objections.”Huo Shaoheng’s voice was a little hoarse.
He quickly called General Ji.
General Ji’s first reaction was to refuse. However, after Lu Jin told song jinning the same reason he had told Song Jinning, General Ji did not continue to stop him.
“Then, General Lu, you must be very careful. You mustn’t get into any trouble. If anything happens to you, no one will be able to save Nianzhi.”General Ji could only earnestly ask Lu Jin to be careful.
Lu Jin said seriously, “I know. You Don’t have to tell me. I’m the only person my girl can rely on.”
Huo Shaoheng:”…”
His words sounded a little harsh.
He played with the round gold coin in his hand and sat in the study, noncommittal. He watched as Lu Jin put on Huo Shaoheng’s VR gaming helmet.
This time, after the game was connected, Lu Jin successfully logged into the game, unlike the time when Huo Shaoheng was rejected.
He was wearing his own special glasses and game helmet.
From what they knew of the technical requirements, the “Immersive”game effect of VR games was actually a small visual screen in the game helmet that could deceive the eyes, it formed a three-dimensional visual effect, just like watching a 3D movie.
By wearing special glasses, one could see almost three-dimensional images.
However, this kind of image could only be seen by people wearing 3D glasses. Other people could not see it without glasses.
The special glasses designed by Lu Jin was to precisely simulate and restore the image of the human eye. Moreover, the function was better than the human eye and could be directly recorded and broadcasted live.
In other words, he had also “Deceived”the VR gaming helmet and transferred the video screen of the gaming helmet directly to the television screen outside.
The moment Lu Jin logged into the game, the Wall TV on the wall of Huo Shaoheng’s study was turned on.
Whatever he saw in the game could be played on the television.
“Hello, Welcome to the Second Life Gaming space. You can do whatever you want here. Of course, you can also find the person you want.”
“Don’t forget, there’s still a big prize to be split!”
“Good luck!”
A familiar female voice came out. It was Apple Siri’s voice that many people were used to..
On the TV screen, what appeared was no longer the login screen like the previous small room, but a geometric space with countless lines crisscrossing.
Lu Jin’s figure appeared very small in this vast geometric space, like corn to the sea, and man to the universe.
Up and down, the four directions were the universe, and since ancient times, it had been the universe.
This was the universe.
Lu Jin himself stood in the infinite geometric space and raised his head to look at the undulating geometric lines around him. His eyes widened.
This game was now simulating a high-dimensional space!
